Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 large red potaoes (3-4 inches long)
- 4 tbs. butter
- 4 oz. log of goat cheese
- 1/4- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Quarter each of the potatoes and place in a large stock pot. Fill the pot with water, one-inch above the potatoes. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water. On the stove, over high heat, cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. Boil the potatoes, covered, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork tender. Turn off the heat and leave covered for 15 minutes.Drain the water from the pot, leaving the potatoes in the warm pot. Add the butter to the potatoes and half of the goat cheese. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher (for a "rough" mash) or using a hand mixer (for smoother potatoes). After the butter has melted completely, season with salt and pepper and add the remaining goat cheese. Mix well.Slowly add the cream, mixing as you go, until the potatoes are your desired consistency. Serve immediately.You can sub chicken broth for the heavy cream if you prefer, or do a little of both. Chicken broth will give it a more layered flavor, but can also make the potatoes runnier, so go slow!
